_ _ I'm going to _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ [G] make a sound.
I'm on a roll, mama, I gotta go.
Gotta get there while I still [C] can.
Troubled [G] days are behind me now,
And I know they're gonna [D] let me in.
[G] You see me walking up the FDR,
Just singing and a clap [C] of my hands.
Tell my mama I love [G] her, tell my father I tried,
Give [D] my money [G] to my baby to spend.
Slow down, I'm going uptown,
To the Harlem River [C] to drown.
Dirty [G] water's gonna cover me over,
And I'm not gonna make a sound.

[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
The times come and they go,
Even a good [C] man will break.
He'll let his [G] troubles bury him whole,
He'll know he knows [D] what's at stake.
[G] So I'm taking no chances,
Carrying over all, I'm still good in [C] his grace.
And I'm no fool, [G] mama, I know the devil's [D] been
Tempting and choosing [G] my fate.
Slow down, I'm going uptown,
To the Harlem River [C] to drown.
Dirty water's [G] gonna cover me over,
And I'm not gonna make a sound.

Slow down, I'm going uptown,
To the Harlem River [C] to drown.
Dirty [G] water's gonna cover me over,
And I'm not gonna make a sound.
Slow down, I'm going uptown,
To the Harlem River [C] to drown.
Dirty [G] water gonna cover me [F] over and I'm not [Ab] gonna [G] make a sound _ _ _ _ _ _
